Overnight Buckwheat Oat Gluten-Free Waffles or Pancakes
Description
Overnight Buckwheat Oat Gluten-Free Waffles or Pancakes combines steel cut oats and buckwheat groats soaked in buttermilk to form the base of the batter. The soaking process softens the grains, which are then blended into a smooth mixture. Addition of melted salted butter, salt, sugar, baking soda, eggs, and optional vanilla results in a batter that's cooked as waffles or pancakes according to your equipment. The soaking and blending technique means the usual coarse texture of steel cut oats is transformed into a tender final product with subtle nutty flavors from buckwheat.
The recipe offers flexibility in sweetness and includes notes on adjusting buttermilk amounts when using homemade varieties. Cooking on a waffle maker or griddle gives the choice between crispy-edged waffles or tender pancakes. The batter thickness and flavor depend on the soaking and blending method, emphasizing grain texture without gluten.
Because the recipe relies on soaking grains overnight, it requires planning ahead but simplifies morning preparation. The buckwheat groats can be sourced from various brands, and adjustments to buttermilk thickness or sugar level help customize taste and consistency. This approach to gluten-free breakfast offers a unique grain combination and moisture from buttermilk and butter for flavor and structure.
